Using import/export for obtaining Outlook Contacts for Windows Mai

I had Windows Mail Live Beta which became corrupted, and I deleted it to
return to Windows Mail. I tried to import Contacts and the link was
C/users/F.Earl Woods/Contacts. When it opened all the previous addresses had
become numbers instead of letters. I created a new folder and dragged the
contact from MS Outlook, but it would no import that file. Is it possible to
uninstall my current Windows Mail and obtain a new one? Thanks, Woody. Hey,
I hit my 90th birthday last month. Hooray!!!

-- I should have added that the current Windows Mail program also seems to
be screwed up. Sorry, Woody

What do you mean by "I deleted it"? An unwanted program should be
properly uninstalled instead of just deleting it.
Unless you are an accomplished beta tester you should not be running
a beta version. Assuming the beta version of Windows Live Mail was
properly uninstalled, I recommend you install the released (non-beta) version:
